Abstract

BackgroundThe data of human complete proteome in the databases of Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) or National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI) were disorderly organized and hardly handled by an ordinary biologist.\n\nResultsThe HICL table enable an ordinary biologist efficiently to handle the human complete proteome with 67911 entries, to get an overview on the distribution of the physicochemical features of all proteins in the human complete proteome, to perceive the details of the distribution patterns of the physicochemical features in some protein family members and protein variants, to find some particular proteins.\n\nMoreover, two discoveries were made via the HICL table: (1) The amino aicds(Asp,Glu) have symmetrical trend of the distributions versus pI, but the amino aicds(Arg, Lys) have local asymmetrical trend of the distributions versus pI in human complete proteome. (2) Protein sequence, besides amino acid properties, can in theory influence the modal distribution of protein isoelectric points.\n\nO_TBL View this table:\norg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@89820eorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1b99fe1org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1af7e13org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@7e22acorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1164e8f_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_TBL O_FLOATNOTable1:C_FLOATNO O_TABLECAPTIONThe values and ranges of the grouping criteria for every feature\n\nC_TABLECAPTION C_TBL ConclusionI has created the HICL table as a robust tool for orderly managing 67911 proteins in human complete proteome by their physicochemical features, the names and sequences. Any proteins with the particular physicochemical features can be screened out from the human complete proteome via the HICL table. In addition, the unbalanced distribution of the amino aicds(Arg, Lys) in high pI proteins of human complete proteome and the effect of protein sequence on modal distribution of protein isoelectric points have been discovered through the HICL table.

spatialMET: an open and scalable framework for spatial metabolomics analysis

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables spatially resolved metabolomics in intact tissue sections, but analysis remains challenging at scale. Existing MSI workflows often require users to combine multiple software tools, while others rely on proprietary vendor software that limits interoperability and reproducibility. To address these challenges, we developed spatialMET, an open-source framework that provides an end-to-end workflow for MSI analysis. spatialMET provides a unified platform for preprocessing, spatial domain detection, and visualization. Downstream analyses include differential abundance testing, spatial autocorrelation and gradient analysis, dimensionality reduction, and correlation network analysis. Spatial domain detection uses hcdist, a C-based hierarchical clustering implementation that substantially reduces runtime and memory use relative to existing R-based approaches. spatialMET can be run through an interactive R Shiny application or as a standalone command-line workflow for larger datasets or high-performance computing environments. Applied to mouse small cell lung cancer MALDI-MSI data containing 284,673 pixels, spatialMET identified tumor-associated, stromal, and adjacent lung spatial domains that aligned with matched histology. Differential abundance analysis identified 117 m/z features that differed between tumor and stromal regions, while spatial autocorrelation analyses revealed spatially structured abundance patterns. Applying spatialMET to mouse lung adenocarcinoma data from an entire lung lobe containing 338,477 pixels further demonstrated scalability and captured spatial heterogeneity across tumor and surrounding lung tissue. In summary, spatialMET provides a scalable, open-source framework for end-to-end spatial metabolomics analysis, and it is distributed as a Docker container for reproducible deployment. Source code and installation instructions are available at https://github.com/biodatalab/spatialMET.

Probing the transcriptome response to shivering in skeletal muscle using a multilayered bioinformatics approach

Cold acclimation holds therapeutic potential for improving metabolic health. We previously demonstrated that repeated cold-induced shivering enhances insulin sensitivity in humans. However, the molecular pathways that underlie the skeletal muscle shivering response, and how these relate to beneficial physiological effects, remain poorly understood. In this study, we combined complementary bioinformatics approaches to allow in-depth analysis of the transcriptomic response of human skeletal muscle to repeated shivering. We identified a robust transcriptional signature and show a sex-specific component in the shivering skeletal muscle response, which seemed to diminish following cold adaptation. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into cold-induced muscle adaptations, shed light on potential interesting molecular targets for further investigation, and emphasize the importance of including both sexes in future cold acclimation studies.

An Information Geometry approach to model topological trajectories and Gene Expression Radius from UMAP geometry.

Understanding the relationship between gene expression dynamics and cellular identity remains a central challenge in single cell biology. Here, we introduce a novel computational and mathematical framework that integrates information geometry, fuzzy topology, and UMAP analysis to model gene expression landscapes derived from single cell RNA sequencing data. We formalize gene expression data as a fuzzy topological space, where interactions between expression points are governed by probabilistic distributions inspired by manifold learning approaches such as UMAP. Within this framework, we define an information geometric structure through a Fisher metric induced by these distributions, enabling the computation of geodesic trajectories that capture cellular differentiation processes. A key contribution of this work is the derivation of analytical conditions, expressed as expression radius formulas, that characterize local neighborhoods in gene expression space. These conditions allow for the identification of genes associated with stem cell states and predictions in transitional cell types in future work. Application of the proposed framework to single cell datasets reveals biologically meaningful gene sets enriched in key regulatory pathways and transcription factors, demonstrating the capacity of our approach to uncover latent structure in complex gene expression data. Our results suggest that integrating differential geometry with statistical learning theory offers a powerful paradigm for modeling genotype and phenotype relationships and cellular state transitions, with potential implications for precision medicine and systems biology.
